Shame on you!You can continue to live here,just don't verbalize your frustrations,because someone that feels they are more important than you might object and then tell you to go back where you came from! :lol:

Are you sure they weren't laughing at you rather than returning a smile?

When my wife first came over to the UK,she found the Thai people very ignorent and ignored her when she smiled at them especially in chinatown manchester.Not all of them but some of them.And dont say it;s because there mostly chinese in chinatown.I put it down to being in the UK in the first place,it's enough to make anybody miserable.

Sorry,but the Chinese Thai in Thailand are mostly that way!Some will smile nod etc. if you start the interaction and they have a good enough reason to interact,like being a neighbor or customer,but most will ignore you as they don't really want to be involved!A lot of falang here are the same way!

It's because they're mostly Chinese in Chinatown. I lived three years in Hong Kong - trust me, they're a miserable bunch. Combine that with living in Manchester and no wonder they're so down in the mouth. Even your common or garden happy Thai lady would find it grim in the industrial North. But hey, this is nothing to do with Vlad's original post, we're supposed to be talking about the Land of Smiles. Personally I subscribe to Trubrit's reply, if they're smiling then they have an ulterior motive. Maybe the Thai smile is directly proportional to the amount of Baht in a Farang's wallet.

Chawk dee.

Mrs Westers don't smile unless old Westers is in alot of pain...
